THE PRACTICAL GUIDE / TRANSPORT
Follow colour-coded subway, exit, walking and bus connections from Seoul Station to famous places.
CHECK THE LIVE ROUTE BEFORE LEAVING
Use the building or attraction name—not only the neighbourhood. For a broadcaster, search the exact building.
In Naver Map or KakaoMap, choose transit and set your real starting point. Compare the fewest-transfer option with the least walking.
Write down the line, direction, transfer station, exit number, bus number and boarding-stop name. A bus with the right number can still be going the wrong way.
Pin the station entrance or opposite-side bus stop before walking away. Recheck the last service for an evening visit.
